Digital radiology (X-ray)

Our state of the art, digital X-ray and digital dental x-ray have high resolution to enhance our diagnostic capabilities. The X-rays are reviewed by our veterinarians, and can also be sent for review to a board-certified veterinary radiologist if it is deemed necessary.

Ultrasound

The close relationship with our linked hospitals allows us access to state of the art diagnostics. With that being said, we utilize the ultrasound services at University Animal Hospital in Tempe, AZ.
Ultrasound is used to enhance our internal imaging ability, and we can visualize internal structures in real time. The ability to view internal structures in real time dramatically improves out diagnostic capabilities.

Dentistry and oral surgery

Have Max's kisses been less cute however far more stinky? The oral health of our pets is something we take very seriously.

Just like humans cat and dog teeth cleanings are an essential part of your Pets general health and oral hygiene and a thorough examination of the mouth will help determine if a trip to the veterinary dentist is necessary. It also provides us with an opportunity to discuss with our clients how to help prevent periodontal disease.

If a tooth extraction is necessary, our Veterinarians are skilled in oral surgery including complicated tooth extractions and flap procedures to prevent open sockets.

Internal medicine

The veterinarians at Laveen Veterinary Center are experienced in diagnosis and treatment of common and uncommon diseases in our pets. Metabolic, endocrine and infectious disease beware, the vets at LVC are here!

Chemotherapy

Advances in veterinary medicine have made treatment of many types of cancer not only possible, but very realistic. The number one goal at Laveen Veterinary Center in cancer treatment with chemotherapy is to maintain the best possible quality of life for your pet.

Dr. Evan Ware has adopted a particular interest in chemotherapy through his own experiences coupled with years of practice treating cancer patients and continuing education in the field of veterinary oncology.

Comprehensive anesthesia is monitored to ensure the highest safety for our patients during the surgical procedure.

Following surgery, we focus on appropriate pain management and postoperative care to facilitate the quickest recoveries for our surgical patients.

Orthopedic surgery

The veterinarians at Laveen Veterinary Center know which "bones to pick." Dr. Evan Ware has developed a special interest in veterinary orthopedics and is experienced in treating patients' orthopedic problems surgically and medically.

Pain management

Assessing pain levels in our animal patients can be very challenging since our pets can't tell us what hurts. Our veterinary services include identifying subtle cues, searching for the primary source of pain and developing an appropriate pain management plan is one of our passions.

At Laveen Veterinary Center you can count on us to provide comfort for your dog and cat when pain management is necessary.
